Quilted, bound and washed! Feels good to have this one ready to bring up to the cabin this weekend.

I think I set a personal best for speed on this one. Feburary 3rd to 20th, 17 days! I did a simple crosshatch pattern (every other diagonal) to quilt it, and stitched in the ditch around the borders. My only regret is not using a solid for the binding. I picked out the red check when I was doing plain navy borders, and I should have reevaluated when I went for scrappy borders. It's a little busy. Oh well.
I think your binding is perfect! Great quilt. Well done on the speed too.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I've already got my eye on my scrap pile for the next one.
DeleteWow. Beautiful finish. I was thinking it had such a homey look to it and can totally picture it being used at a cabin. Simply gorgeous, Wendy!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I like the word "homey", I was thinking as I was making it that it had a Holly Hobbie vibe to it. :)
DeleteI really like how you finished this, the border, the back and I think the binding is the cherry on top! Perfect! I am working on one as well and would like to finish in a few weeks. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'll be keeping my eye out for photos of your finish. It's addictive once you get going on it.
DeleteSo fine!
ReplyDeleteIt´s a "happyquilt".
I love your colourchoise!
Thank you! And thanks for visiting.
DeleteI love it. I'm hoping to piece all my scrappy trip blocks together Sunday night and I was debaring adding a border or two. You have totally inspired me and I will most definitely be adding borders. Yours looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Saw you have a blog, clicking over now to see if you added one. :)
